The Hawaii House Republican Caucus is calling upon the State to dedicate three percent of all state purchases, an estimated $33 million per year, to Hawaii-based veteran-owned businesses.

Fourteen states already have enacted laws designed to assist veteran-owned firms who seek to provide goods and services to states and local governments.
